What Time Is It And What Are You Doing?
Mod
Off to go and play some snooker for 2 hours, then a tennis match for two hours then home to chill out and watch Strictly Come Dancing results, then A Factor.
3am in New Zealand. Currently making pancakes, anyone want any? ;)
It's 2:41 PM here in the UK. Currently I'm trying to force my self to do some of my homework. I'll most likely not do anything about it, but I have to at least pretend to try and convince my self to do some of it.

If I don't make the effort to be a little consructive I feel kind of crummy the whole day. Try it.
Its 4 pm here in the UK, and the dog decided at 2.30 pm that he wanted his tea, because we forget to tell him that the clocks went back an hour last night. So I fed him and took him out for a very very long walk and run, so hopefully he is shattered now and ready to chill out.
It's 5.20 pm in UK. Same here can't get use to clocks changing, and it got dark so early:-(

Most likely I'll do it at the last minute and panic, which will be reflected by the quality of work.

Just stuffed my belly with Chinese takeout for my birthday dinner. Now I'm planting my nose in my book until The Walking Dead comes on tonight!
Dawn, I don't think we have cream of wheat in NZ! It's a "specialty food" here, so let's trade! ^_^Me too Christine! Breakfast is deeelicious! :) I lost track of time, 3am is a regularity for me....hehe!

Pancakes for everyone! ^_^

I love Chinese take out :) We don't get them in cute boxes and they don't deliver here though :( You sound like you have a perfect evening planned. Happy Birthday! :)

Whoa, Jonnie, how much sleep do you average?
Terri wrote: "Just stuffed my belly with Chinese takeout for my birthday dinner. Now I'm planting my nose in my book until The Walking Dead comes on tonight!"Happy Birthday, Terri Wino! I love Chinese.
It's 6:07 PM. The cats are all fed and we are getting ready to have pork chops with stuffing and cranberries, one of my all time fav meals!
Thanks! I have to say I've had an amazing birthday weekend! :)

Christine wrote: "Whoa, Jonnie, how much sleep do you average?"Maybe 6 hours if I'm lucky! I dream of the weekends! :)
Christine wrote: "It's 6:07 PM. The cats are all fed and we are getting ready to have pork chops with stuffing and cranberries, one of my all time fav meals!"Not fair, your making me hungry. I'm going to have to hunt for food now.
Jonnie wrote: "3am in New Zealand. Currently making pancakes, anyone want any? ;)"Yes please, if they are still going.....I have blueberries 8:D
Terri wrote: "Just stuffed my belly with Chinese takeout for my birthday dinner. Now I'm planting my nose in my book until The Walking Dead comes on tonight!"Happy birthday Terri! Will toast your birthday with a nice glass of red wine a little later on.....birthday cake? 8:D
Christine wrote: "It's 6:07 PM.

Thanks for the idea. 8:D

Done! 8:D
Seriously guys your making me peckish. I think I'll have to run to the shop and get some chocolate, or maybe some Oreos.
Robin wrote: "Seriously guys your making me peckish. I think I'll have to run to the shop and get some chocolate, or maybe some Oreos."Peckish! Translate that, Robin. Must be a UKism.
Robin wrote: "Seriously guys your making me peckish. I think I'll have to run to the shop and get some chocolate, or maybe some Oreos."Or both.... :D
Christine, peckish is like hungry but not for something big like a meal! ^_^

OK, I am peckish most of the time.
Christine wrote: "OK, I am peckish most of the time."Yep!
It is 1:33 AM and I just checked my livetrap. I am trying to catch a second stray kitty that comes to my back deck to eat. I got the first one last night and got him to the local shelter yesterday morning. Well, this check revealed the meanest raccoon I have ever encountered. I have had these guys in my live traps before and they are usually so scared they just ball up and wait to be let out. This guy was a mean one--growling and jumping about and giving me dirty looks. I couldn't get the darned back end of the trap to quite open up so went back in to "armor-up and to get me a big fat stick to use as a weapon in case he went the wrong way once released. Fortunately, he had worked on the back end himself while I was putting on layers of clothes and got himself out. Just another exciting night in Minnesota...back to bed now. Hope I have a kitty when I get up again...
9.05 pm Have just finished in the dining room , so I am going to go home now, have something light to eat, read for a while then off to bed. I have early opening shift in the morning....so good night all and sweet dreams. 8:D

When ever I wake up too early which admittedly I do most days, I'm invariably cranky, my family has learned the hard way to leave me alone for the first half an hour or until I get some food in me. Oh and peckish is when your just craving a snack. I think Jonnie's all ready explained, can't be bothered to read all the comments. I once again display my laziness.
Christine, I'd be wary of rabies in that raccoon. Better that he got himself out!!
17:27, i voted for a president for the first time in my life, now i m looking for information about the results
Congratulations, Aymen! No matter who wins the election, you should be proud!
Thanks Brenda, yes you re right, we have the choice, that s all we need :)
4:10am here in New Zealand. Couldn't sleep, so it's a cuppa tea, a homemade Peanut Brownie, a little 'inter-netting' & maybe reading.Been offline for a couple of months, due to shifting addresses & convalescing with a broken leg,so am enjoying being back on GR:)
Right now it is Sunday 12/14/14 7:25 pm, 43 degrees Fahrenheit and I am watching The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. I love both these beautiful women and every time Jude Law smiles I melt. This is a Christmas favorite movie. I just got home a few hours ago from Church where I signed up to work with the Prison Ministry at the local Women's Prison here in Montgomery. I am very excited for this opportunity.
Getting ready to slice up an apple and take it to bed with me. Just finished book 3 in Chelsea Cains Gretchen series.....and, like an idiot, I am onto book 4!!!I have 10 books in the bedroom that I want to read.......but I am reaching for another Chelsea Cain book!!!!!
Burrrrrrr its cold in FL tonight.
02:42 am. in PA. Not able to sleep, but of course Otto is sleeping at my feet. Just finished a book, and decided to check out Goodreads.
